Abstract
AT the seventy-third annual meeting of the Institution of Gas Engineers in London on May 26–29, the address of the president, Colonel W. Moncrieff Carr, referred to “perhaps the most serious problem in the history of the Industry” the proposed coal selling scheme, under which not only the prices but also the choice of gas coal would be apparently at the discretion of the coal industry, which would thus acquire uncontrolled monopolistic power. It is feared that the coal industry's policy will be influenced by a desire voiced by its spokesmen and indicated by its commercial actions to discourage the replacement of raw coal by the products of coal carbonisation, even though this conduces to public amenity and hygiene and to private convenience. Moreover, freedom of choice of raw material is vital to any manufacturing industry and especially where the raw material can be so variable as coal.
